| It's a Data Analytics Engine | It is a Big Data PROCESS Engine |
| Used to Process real-time data, using real-time EVENTS like Twitter and Facebook | BATCH processing with a huge volume of data |
| Has a Low latency computing | Has a High latency computing |
| Can process data extracted interactively | Process the data extracted in batch mode |
| It is easier to use, enables a user to process data using high-level OPERATORS through abstractions | Hadoop's model is a bit COMPLEX, need to handle low-level APIs |
| Has an in-memory computation, thus, no external scheduler is required | The external job scheduler is required for memory computation |
| It is a bit less secure as compare to Hadoop | Highly secure |
| Costlier than Hadoop | Less Costly |
